They wouldn't do that, because that would be TOO AWESOME.  Who wouldn't want to shoot Sephiroth right in the face with a gas gun?
I think it would be too much to hope to hear this in it also: "Blatherin' bagpipes! The Heartless are stealing my number one dime!"  And maybe… Magika DeSpell.

It WOULD be cool if they used the Bela Lugosi-inspired demon from Fantasia though.  He would make a pretty kick-ass boss.

Seriously though, I've been planning a KH appearence for DW.

Scene is St.Canard city, on the bridge. Sora, Goofy, and Donald are barely concious, with a strange rat-like form standing over them.
"Can't I go 10 minutes with out some costumed weirdos falling on my head and beating the tar out of me!!"
Sora feels a weight on his face. Nothing major, but something is definetly there. He feels the fabric of a mask, and sees Donald and Goofy are also dressed up like superheroes. A liquid/echoing voice speaks up.

"Well, Megs, it's not like they've beaten us yet. Besides, these look more like Value-Pack heroes then the Economy-size! You can handle them. I'll be right back!"

Soras head spins as the walking(and soon swimming) TV commercial leaps off the bridge and into the bay below. You stand up and notice the glowing(but still shadowy) figure is not alone, but has 2 Heartless with head-shaped helmets. You engage them for a bit, but do no damage to any of them. 'His' first lightning bolt takes out Donald. The next takes out Goofy. Just before the last one hits, a blue smoke fills up the screen.
"I am the Terror that flaps in the night!"
The figures seem to be shaken as they has stopped attacking. One of the Heartless is grabbed into the gas and does not emerge.
"I am the short that blows out your TV!" The other henchman dissapears into the gas.
"I…AM DARKWIIING DUCK!"
You are then prompted to pick Goofy or Donald(Launchpad tells you he found something*Phoenix Down* but only has the one). Whoever you pick is the one taken with you.

DW would have a wide variety of skills, using magic AND physical attacks. Although his gas isn't as effective as Donalds magic, and his martial arts aren't as strong as Goofy's shield, he's got quite a few "dodge" skills that he uses, which mainly relocates him, as well as an AP-free "Intimidate" skill which would give Sora, and whoever else was on DWs team, a boost to defense and lower enemy attack. Not by a whole lot at first, but still.

*Applauds again*

Jesus. I at least TOLD Strawberry I did it. And I made it clear I had a reason(You like someone? Applaud 'em. You don't like 'em? Smite 'em. I didn't like her.)

: If ya DO leave at least I know how to contact ya Kulli so I don't have to lose ya.

I REALLY wish we'd either ditch that shit or just make it registered members and so people KNOW WHO DID IT. I.e I can see "Ok, Pimp Neonblack Applauded me, Kulli applauded me, but alisathemom smote me?" and if I can muster up enough of a care I might ask the person if I slighted them or if it was a misclick/wrong person/infantile display of anger.

Jim Carrey?

The same person who "graced" us with the "character" of Vera deMilo on In Living Color… a character through which he couldn't express enough cruelty and hatred toward women bodybuilders? That Jim Carrey? He's going to play one of the Amazons, right?

Sorry, but I haven't forgiven him or the Wayans brothers for that. (Do you realize that more people watched that one episode of INC than probably the entire viewership of every FBB contest on ESPN combined? I shudder to think how many people came to hate FBBs because of that show.)

So, no, I'm not excited about this new project of his.

That is needlessly bitter. First of all, it wasn't even pretending that he was any sort of FBB. It was taking a stab at Conan the Barbarian. So I think Conan fans have a LOT more to bitch about.
Second of all, look at Liar, Liar compared to Dumb and Dumber. The man has obviously matured a lot.

Since we've had a post on what video games we're looking forward to, even though few if any had any female muscle in 'em (And cuz I'm the moderator boss-guy around here!), I figured this bit of news would be appropriate here.

My semi-cryptic title refers to the latest edition of Kingdom Hearts featuring two guys named Jack.  People will be happy to know that Jack Skellington will be back, this time following the plotline of the Nightmare Before Christmas and donning his Santa garb.  The second Jack ,surprisingly, is actually from a live-action Disney movie: Pirates of the Carribbean.  Yes, I'm referring to Jack Sparrow, and yes, he will be played by Johnny Depp, so if you've got a teenage, Depp-obsessed sister, odds are she'll be drooling over your shoulder as you play this.  And btw, Keira Knightley will also be playing her Pirates role in this game.

As far as other news, Mulan will be in this game, and Beauty and the Beast and Hercules will finally have their own full worlds, rather than Beast seeking shelter at Hollow Bastian and Herc having just a Colluseum.  You can also team up with Final Fantasy characters, including Auron from FF10,and either pull off combo moves with teammates or even merge with your teammates.

I hadn't heard about the Pirates stuff previously, so I suppose there may be even more surpises we haven't heard about.  I'm praying that everyone's favorite blue-hued, Koala-esque alien is a teammate in this game!

Anyone else have opinions?  Or any hopes as far as to who will be in the game this time around?  Feel free to comment!

Screw that. Where's everybodys favorite purple-suited superhero? You know the guy, he was always getting dangerous.

I think in the Marvelverse, mutants are refered as the omçnes born with the superpower, however, I never saw a reference for a special name for the other superheros, the ones who gained their superpower in adulthood. I think that's the problem at Marvel, because the word mutant, refers to those people who have a diferent dna patern in their cels, no matter when the mutation satarted.

Nope. Mutants are homo superior. Humans are homo sapian.

Ze fly – Yeah let's stick with that 😛 it makes the most sense.

Also that metahuman page claims telekinesis is not a superpower. SuperHUMAN powers are powers that normal humans have. Just plain superpowers are powers that are beyond what most humans could ever achieve through ANY means.

My opinion seems to echo the consensus: good, serviceable art (the guy does know how to draw a muscular woman), but the story is weak. He undercuts the character horribly when, in our first good look at how she operates, he allows her to be beaten up by an apparently ordinary gang of street thugs (and has to be rescued by a cartoonish old lady wielding a stun gun!!). I think I understand what he's trying for here, but the execution fails, and we're left with a "heroine" who's incompetent at best.

Exactly. We see her jump from building to building, kick a guy so hard his feet follow the point of impact, and take down another thug with a SINGLE blow to the face. We then see that the old lady KNOWS the man has a wooden plank, yet doesn't do shit to help the poor girl until after she's beaten with the plank and then kicked repeteadly. No consistancy. The old woman is concerned with the girl ONLY AFTER she's beaten up.

On top of all this, we see her doubting herself. We have no sympathy for her. We saw ONE fight, ONE loss and that's it.

When writers do it with Spider-man, it makes sense. We know Spidey. We know his character. We sympathize for it.

Jesus, Ashlee. For a heavweight girl you're an awful lightweight with the booze 😛 We'll just take this away*slips a beer out of her hands*

I find it hilarious all they did to make her look "too skinny" was add bone outlines to her body.

And by hilarious I mean terrifiying.

Well I could see why this guy wasn't selling any comics, the name "Purple Avenger" really doesn't kind of JUMP OUT at me.  Though I like the physique he gave her the whole thing seems a bit badly written, the only reason I'd buy this comic book is to see more muscles that but that's about.

Yeah. It's really hard to follow. Plus the girl can leap from buildings apparently, and land safely from jumping off one…yet a kick to the face DOESN'T leave the guy unable to talk or move. Hell, at least Spidey has the excuse that he pulls all his punches.

One minute she seems to have superpowers, the next she's barely got the physical strength to pick herself up. On top of that, she has ONE bruise on her shoulder. No blood, no black eye, no wounds at all save for that one bruise.

I think there's a good reason this comic didn't sell. They read it. 😐

There were a couple of Power Rangers games back in the day that were pretty fun with similar ideas. I.e you'd be fighting through the level as the normal person, then halfway through(or in one game, also not a good one, whenever you had a full power-meter.) you would morph into their Ranger forms and get all the obvious perks. I.e higher defense, a weapon, more damage, more health, a special attack…

Something like that could work her. The girl is a generic martial artist at first. When the enemies who aren't simple thugs show up and thrash her, she injects herself with an experimental liquid(first stage) and grows huge. Anytime after that level, she'll do it as a scripted command.
